Making an aggregate of 4Ij sub scrlbers to outspokcn party jour nals, to winch might be added about LOGO subscribers to papers with strong Sociallstic procliyties, mak- ing the number of subscribers to our party press in other large cities in the State to be about twenty five, (which would be far below its natural circulation). We have q contingent of over 300 pioneers, whose labors will tell in the future. The fact that many (if not alb of these papers are being read by from three to ten per sons, adds greatly to the spread of sound principles. Further, it should be taken into consideration that the short time since the WoEkMEN'S An voCATE is the official journal, has afforded us no opportunity to give it a show; one year hence its circula- tion in this State may outnumber the rest of our journals.
 Our orators, capable of taking the stand against our so-called educa- ted adversaries and have the best of them are, three English, four Ger man, and two Scandinavian. More work will be devoted to swell and complete our organizations, about which 1 shall furnish information at some future occasion.

A merchant relates the following expert
ence: when 1 was young man l set up
in trade and took store where there
was not another within quarter
of mile, thinking should do more where
there were no others, but at the end of the
year found that all l had made could be
put in my eye. / sat down one
day, thinking my lot was a mighty hard
one, and told my clerk that L was going
ont for awhile, and that he must
keep a shefp lookout for customers. l
went down town. and, looking around,
found that two or three stores were doing
very good trade near together, and in pass
ing one of these stores l found the owner
quite talkative man. We put our heads
together, and in the course of week the
store directly opposite his received my stock
in trade and a coat of blue paint on the out
side while his received coat of green. The
first day did nothing but stand at the door
and look p0uty at the green store, and my
friend stood on his steps looking ditto at
me. AS people came in commenced run
ming down the green store and the latter
always ran down the blue, so that between
us both we built up trade that was quite
lively. People having taken sides and
newcomers always purchasing of one or the
other. we gradually grew rich. and at the
end of some dozen years we settled up, and
found that opposition, or what answered

A CircaSsian was walking along one road
and woman along another. The roads

point of junction at the same time, they
walked on together The man was carry
ing large iron kettle on his back; in one
hand he held the legs of live chicken, in
the other a cane, and he was leading a goat
They neared a dark ravine. Said the
woman: Il am afraid to go through that
ravine with you; it is lonely place, and
you might overpower me and kiss me by
force.'
Said the man: 'How can I possibly
overpower you and kiss you by force when
have this great iron kettle on my back, a
cane in one hand, live chicken in the
other. and am leading this goat? l may as
we'll be tied hand and foot"
Yes" replied the woman, ''but if you
should stick your cane in the ground and
tie your goat to it. and turn the kettle bot
tom-side up and put the chicken under it.
then you might wickedly kiss me in spite of
my resistance"
Success to thy ingenuity, o woman!'
said the rejoicing man to himself; Il
should never have thought of this or SINH
lar eXpedients." And when they came to
| the ravine he stuck his cane into the ground
and tied the goat to it, and gave the
chicken to the woman, saying: Hold it
while L cut some grass for the goat" and
then-so runs the legend-lowering the
kettle from his shoulder he put the fowl
under it and wickedly kissed the woman,
as she was afraid he would.

81 saw a poker game once that l never
will forget" said jeff Hankins. ut was
in Park City, Utah, in 1865, when the min
ing boom in the Mormon territory was at its
height. One night / dropped into How
ards place to see friend. and while stand
ing at the bar my attention was drawn
to a remote corner of the room
by a crowd of men who seemed to
be very much interested in something there.
The bartender told me that Digger Mike
and Frank Pavt0n, miner and gambler,
were PLAYING poker, and knowing both men
well, concluded that I'd watch them few

up a position where could see the players.
Digger had five OF six stacks of checks
and big pile of bags containing
gold dust, in all about So 900, in front
of him, while Payton had about $1,000.
Both men played cautiously for while
until there was a jack pot, which Digger
opened with bag of gold dust. Payton
stayed and raised him $3.50, which the'Dig-
ger saw and went $500 Tin gold duSt) better.
Payton just called this. and then skinned

dealt it to him and then threw $500 worth
of his dust into the pot, remarking: 1 don't
want any
''Payton skinned his hand again. and. af
ter going through the motions of looking at
his antagonist for few minutes he saw
the $3.50 and went it $500 harder. Digger
was more prompt in raising this four bags
of dust, and PaytOn even more promptly
saw the raise and went it 50. 900 better.
Neither man was the least bit nervous ac-
cording to all outward signs. though each
had all his earthly possessions in front of
him and in the pot They continued to
raise each other as they made bet after bet,
until the Digger shouted for a showdown,
saying he couldn't call another cent.
Both hands went down on the board at
the same moment, and then Payton reached
over and began to scoop in the gold dust
and checks. He had Il pair of fours, while
the digger had been bluffing on keller.
i didn't think you had nerve enough to fol-
low me. Frank was all ne said as he got
up from the table to leave the place to go
back to the diggingS to toll for
more gold dust. The sequel of the
game is interesting. Payton left the sa-
loon, too, after disposing of his winnings to
his satisfaction, and that was the last time
he was seen until his body was picked up a
week or two later in ravine about mile
from Howard's. His skull was crushed
and his money all gone, showing that he
had fallen victim to somebody's cupidity.
His murderer was never discovered"
